I agree CLM, the Nats did cheat. Nobody was supposed to claim Flores after a year in A ball. It was also cheating bringing in the closer for 4 outs. Billy Wagner would never allow such a thing to happen to him….. Did we lodge our official protest yet.

DOOM and GLOOM!!! THat’s why I like DC. Gotta admit – he/she (I don’t believe I know) makes me laugh.

Of course the Nats were cheating!!!!

scoop: Its been said many times by Willie that they don’t talk about last year. Like not talking about it makes it go away. Its like they are in denial. Willie refuses to let them go thru the “grieving process” (for lack of anther term), and for that he has made himself a failure as a manager of this team.

Let’s face it, Willy will take the heat, but you have to have talent to win, and unfortunately the window on this team has closed. They were built to win it two years ago, it is time to pull the plug on this team….

It is frustrating to see all the young players Minya has traded and to see them doing well….Bannister, Keepinger, Jacobs, Bell, Ring, Nady …..

Until Heilman gets his head screwed on right he should not come into a game w/guys on base. His BAA w/o runners is under .200, w/it is over .350.

He is obviously trying to be too perfect. He like alot of the players is tight as a drum and walking on pins and needles. Willie says he knows his team? Why can’t he get them to relax?

Have to win today to salavge a poor homestand.

Why should the big metsies play good. They play to the expectations of the very nasty and “despicable” fan base. You boo them endlessly and you want them to excel?

Is it possible to option Heilman to AAA snice he has yet to pitch too many years? It’s getting painful. Bring up Muniz, Collazo, Lugo, anybody else just to try it.

I’m pretty much a tired, played-out gimmick myself.

cver—on the postgame, Willie said that Schoeneweis wasn’t available and that he wanted to stay away from Wise who would have been pitching 3 days in a row. He also mentioned the short turnaround time before tomorrow afternoon’s game. That’s why he really wanted to get at least an inning out of Heilman. His explanation makes sense to me.

They have Pelfrey going tomorrow too. The starters just need to go longer.

JD: I know from last year that you really hate interleague. Sure it’s a gimmick, but that doesn’t necessarily make it bad. And it’s a successful gimmick too. Even without interleague, all teams wouldn’t really be running the same race due to unequal revenues. That means some teams are already running the race with a disadvantage. The length of the major league season is so long that any inequities in the short interleague schedule could be made up by any team that wanted the postseason bad enough.

Heilman is the new mop up man for now. Willie demonstrated the term “asleep at the switch”. This is not a team that can afford for a pitcher to pitch a team four runs down. If Willie does not get that, then the Mets need someone who do. I blame Willie for this loss tonight. He is making a difference to the team. Right now, it is definitely a negative one.

John, without a doubt, the worst Met game of the year. The way Willie put Heilman in and left him in, was the end as far as I’m concerned. Willie HAS to go! Nice guy, but he’s had his chance. I really hope that the Wilpons can insist on doing this quickly before the season is ruined and that they can find the proper replacement quickly.

I have been one of Heilmans biggest supporters, but I cant take it anymore He needs to go down to AAA to get himself straigtened out. Its now obvious that he will never get it together without radical help.

DC 9er: No, I don’t write with a typewriter. But, it’s different. Interleague play is not progress. Interleague play is a gimmick. I write about it because not criticizing would be accepting it. I can’t accept interleague play as a positive because it is not.-JD

Heilman with 3 consecutive 2 outs hits, ugh.

A disappointing loss. But there are still 123 games left in the season. I am not sure if that is good news or bad news.
Is Vargas start a good sign for him in the rotation or a missed opportunity to cash in on a good piece of luck?

I’m not ready to add Heilmann must be released to each posts like I did for Mota last year. But I’m considering it.

This team just plain stinks. A losing bunch of underachievers with one of the worst pitching staffs in MLB.

You are a very smart and supportive metsie Josh. I couldn’t have said it better myself!!!
You metsies want to be professionals, but you think that means being zombies… Well Omar has a team full of zombies and it shows…... DEAD DEAD DEAD
